Patty, although there is a real demand for quality rentals, there are some great places for rent to call home! At AZ Property Solutions we offer full service property management, contact me and lets get started on finding you the perfect place!

In North Phoenix, Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Carefee as well as other suburban outlying areas, the temperatures can vary by as much as 5 degrees. Concrete and other impervious surfaces hold heat, while the natural landscaping cools off in the evenings and don't get as hot during the day.... more

Hi Kevin,
There are many great places in the valley to raise a family so it's really going to come down to what you are looking for and what kind of commute time you are wanting to stay in. Any place with easy freeway access will shorten your commute. Assuming you have a normal 9-5 schedule going against traffic will get you to work sooner. Most of Tempe is about a 10-15 min (up to 25 min with traffic) commute from the airport. Tempe is also where US Airways offices are located. Ahwatukee (south east Phoenix) is another area with access to I10 and you could be at the airport within 15 min (up to 30 min with traffic). Parts of Chandler and Scottsdale will also be in that under 30 min commute time so it's really going to depend on what areas you like. Most cities have homes in most price points so I always tell clients it's best to just tour the different areas and see for yourself what best fits your family's needs. If you have any additional questions or would like to receive a list of homes just let me know.

Phoenix is very backlogged, but call agents in other markets who are doing what you want to be doing. If you aren't cutting into their business and they aren't up to their heads in work they will probably help with information.... more

Jeff, Sounds like a rental property of the West side of Phoenix would be best suited for your needs. I suggest Westwood Properties. The offer many homes, condos and apartments throughout the Phoenix metro area.... more

Southwest Phoenix, zip code 85041 has good and bad spots. If you find something south of baseline anywhere between 67th Ave and 40th St you'll be in pretty good shape. Actually, I will soon have a house for sale that I just bought to remodel. It is south of Baseline just off Central Ave, code is 85042. It's a 3 bd, 2 bth, 1680 sq feet, 2 car garage with a backyard that gets a very good view of South Mountain. The mtn view is very, very incredible. The house will be mid $100's when it's done. You can reach me at gpscentral@aol.com. Good luck!!... more

I had a client who found himself in a similar situation as yourself. We ended up calling the bank who held the note on the property and sent them a copy of the lease agreement that he had with the owners. The bank ended up honoring the terms of the lease agreement and he was able to finish out the duration of the agreement

This may or may not work in your case, but it's worth a shot. Unfortunately if you're paying your rent and the owner isn't paying the mortgage, it's really a bad situation to be involved in.... more

The Fireside community at Norterra is a nice community. Pulte has been building there for over a year, coming on 2 years now, actually. Sales have been slow, as Pulte started this community at exactly the wrong time. In the area, however, look at what is going on along Happy Valley Road. On the north side, that new shopping development is going up very quickly, and it's being filled up with quality shops, including PF Changs. South of Happy Valley Road, you have a heck of a lot of light industrial/office warehouse product, as a result of businesses moving from the Scottsdale Airpark area to the Deer Valley airpark area to reduce costs.

Overall, I like the Fireside community at Norterra. The specs in particular are good deals, due to the incentives that Pulte is offering. Pulte is one of the most aggressive builders in the valley when it comes to pricing spec homes, and if the home is right for you, you are probably getting a good deal. But make sure the home is the right home for you. Most home owners live in their home for 5 years, so it's not like a bad hair cut that you can get out of in 6 weeks.

As far as the area school goes, it's my recollection that school is to be located off of Norterra parkway on the west side of the road, just after Dynamite Mountain Ranch ends, and you can look across to I-17. That's where land was set aside for a grade school, I believe. But it was set aside 5 or 6 years ago, and we still don't see any plans for an actual school to be built. Pulte, nor I, can make any promises about when the government will choose to build a school. I can point to where one might be located, but until we see dirt being pushed around, it's just dirt.

One of the good things about that neighborhood, is how nice 19th Ave and 7th St create traffic alternatives to I-17. And I-17 is going to get a lot worse here soon, before it gets better, as they continue the work to widen I-17 up through Anthem.... more
